Happy holidays! The Contractor Connection E-Newsletter brings you information on Integrated Demand-Side Management (IDSM) solutions, resources, and technologies to help address your customers' energy management needs.

 

This edition brings you our personal thank you, updates on Express and Customized Solutions, the December 2 Contractor Info Session, and more.

Thank You

 

As the end of 2011 approaches, we'd like to extend a warm thank you for your contributions this year. Although we realize it hasn't been easy--especially given our transition to a new application processing system--we've nonetheless seen a significant increase in Authorized Participant activity and event turnout this year than any other.

 

Next year, you can expect a ramp up of Authorized Participant support, particularly around education/training opportunities and technical assistance. We encourage you to take part in next year's events and leverage those resources that will be available to you. Additionally, we will continue to offer new solutions and promotions that support the Commission's directive of moving towards IDSM. Thus, we hope you'll be a part of this movement by promoting the integration of energy efficiency and demand response solutions to your customers.

 

As an important reminder, if you have questions or a project inquiry, contact Janny Kim, the Contractor Relations Account Manager at IDSMQuestions@sce.com.

 

Have a safe holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
